This weekend is An August Summer Holiday Abroad party, so decided to showcase Victoria Beckham Portofino 97.
It has a story connected to it, which I found quite personal and poetic.
Portofino ’97 Eau de Parfum
“When David and I first met, we kept our relationship under wraps. This was when I was in the Spice Girls, when we were enormously successful all around the world, and David was playing for Manchester United. In 1997, we decided to take a trip to Portofino. I remember the light, I remember how the hotel smelled and how exciting that time was. I remember it all like it was yesterday.” xVB

Portofino ’97
A new infatuation. A secret escape. The seductive scent of desire Victoria Beckham evokes the enrapturing fragrance of burgeoning romance through the memory of Portofino ‘97: A euphoric hit of calabrian bergamot and black pepper; crisp white sheets suffused with incense and amber; patchouli and vetiver lingering on the skin of a significant other.
Pure excellence in every way: That’s the Victoria Standard.

Conclusion
This is not only perfect for a holiday in Italy or Portofino, you are buying into the Iconic style of Victoria Beckham.
It is when you want to impress in an expensive luxury hotel abroad or want to dream of summer in colder seasons.
Looking forward to sampling this perfume as ‘posh spice’ has standards, so you just know this will be good.
You forget how big David and Victoria Beckham were with everything so boring and unesthetic at the moment.
They were Pop and football royalty.

If I’m honest I liked posh spice best because she was called posh at school, if I remember right.
Me and my friend were called snobs, so I related to this.
I hated it, but didn’t feel as bothered when the spice girls launched onto the scene.
Just found out the nickname was invented by the press.
Victoria was ‘Posh Spice’, because she was wearing a Gucci-style mini dress and seemed pouty and reserved.
Posh wouldn’t wear flats either, even when pushed or nagged, related to that also.
Maybe this perfume will help bring posh style back to the high street and aesthetics!!!
Get searching through your wardrobe for heels girls!!!
And wear them everywhere, except exercising of course.
Never been as classy as posh, but am trying to learn.
Haven’t got her figure either, but am trying to get slimmer.
In fact I also remember Japanese noodles were her slimming trick to how she stayed so slim.
Interesting as in the slimming calender this month it is Japanese September.
Got that wrong as well it is grilled fish and steamed vegetables.
Inside Victoria Beckham’s posh health and wellness regime: from the Spice Girl’s daily dish revealed by David Beckham to crystals and collagen – and son Brooklyn’s ‘steak soup’?
This is like early sushi

Quite an inspiring read.
Really like that this perfume has also led to loads of lifestyle ideas and recipes.
Hope you enjoy this blog and feel inspired to purchase Portofina 97.
This whole research has inspired me to try a bit harder in September with exercise and slimming.
Hope it has inspired you too.
Feel like I’ve got a role model to aim towards again now, something lacking badly at the moment, hopefully covid will go away forever now and women can get their lives back with magazine articles like the two I’ve found for this blog.
The Spice girls were perfect role models as they were all different but relatable, not being funny but they are all still there and still young.
Role models for blue chip company designers?
Just saying.
My memory is shocking but I did have a memory loss illness I suppose.
Hope this brings loads of great memories back to you and ideas of what your style was before covid.
Used to like fashion magazines with celebrities my height so I could copy their style and fashion.
Really enjoyed this weeks perfume junky.
Can’t wait to get the Portofino 97 collection, not only because it looks and sounds fabulous, but also perfume has a magical power to evoke memories.
Rediscover your inner spice girl ~ girl power!!!!
Have a Great weekend
